Super Bass - Nicki Minaj



Speed: 126 bpm

The DJ's Take: Not too long ago, I referred to Nicki Minaj as the black Snooki. But now that I've seen more of her, I have to say that body is superb. It's just obscured by all the crazy makeup and wigs. As for the song, it has this light bounce to it that should be danceable for females.

She Ain't You - Chris Brown



Speed: 91 bpm

The DJ's Take: For people like me who were teens in the 90s, it's strange to see Chris Brown dedicating this song to MJ when he basically jacked the beat from SWV's Human Nature-sampling Right Here. Then again, you got a lot of young folk who probably have no idea who SWV is, so it's understandable. Anyway, it's basically Chris Brown singing over an instrumental of a major hit from 1993. And I kind of like it despite the fact that it's jacked.

If you're looking to go old(er) school, try mixing this and Right Here with Nas' It Ain't Hard To Tell (which also samples Human Nature).
